I intentionally took my time with this blog post because it’s a bit heavy for me. You see, us two humans gazing into each other’s eyes, have been on auto-pilot mode since the beginning of March. We know, many of you have. I’ve been back to work for over a month now, and let me just say, it’s legitimately been more than just auto-pilot...it has been survival.
.
I came across Ojus Patel’s, ojuspatel latest post about “9 months in to parenting in a pandemic”. Every word spoke to me. I’ve read it over and over again. It’s our reality like many of you. But we continue to rise. And we continue to look for that light that seems so distant in this dark tunnel.

Full blog post linked in bio with a few transition tips from this mama to you...

“Our days are a blur and with the both of us now working full-time, we’re running on little to no fuel. Exhausted is an understatement. There’s no secret recipe to making it work (as much as I wish there was). Both of our days are filled with back-to-back meetings and deadlines. It just means, our kids are probably getting the shorter end of the stick here. I mean, they’re changed, fed, and entertained too. In between meetings, you can find us singing lullabies with Aliza, practicing and teaching Amia how to read and write, changing diapers, attending to school-kid related activities. Don't forget the laundry (which often gets forgotten in the machine), the attempted healthy cooked meals (feels like we're always in the kitchen), the endless amounts of dishes, the tidying, the vaccuming (because having kids at home 24/7 literally means there are crumbs EVERYWHERE). We’re literally pulled in multiple directions at once. We can feel it in our bones.”
